AI is working its way into smartphones, but some tools could be subverted for misinformation.
  • Yes, I have because it isn't.

    It's LLMs and Machine Learning, though 'learning' is a misnomer so probably better to call it LLMs

    What is the best FOSS Matrix client?
  • There isn't one.

    Because none of them have all features.

    My favourites however are Fractal for desktop and Fluffychat for mobile because they both allow for multiple accounts in one window/app and they look nice, and Fluffychat has features that make it more customisable.

    Why though? The original game was fine.

    We're losing our digital history. Can the Internet Archive save it?
  • The internet archive is a good idea.

    In practise it has a lot of flaws like enabling harrasment and doxxing etc of individuals, as they take very little down, even if it would lead to abuse.

    Bluesky adds 8 million users in last ten months.
  • It's technically decentralized, but functionally this doesn't mean anything (yet) except for them not having to care about moderation.

    It seems part of it might be open source, like the AT protocol, but not sure about all of it.

  • I appreciate the intent, but yeah, when people who don't know me at all/that well say I matter to them etc I tend to think "how could they when they don't know me?" I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but it is how I feel.

    Hope you are doing well though, and no real harm done.

  • To answer the question in the brackets, it's not about being attracted to sex itself or not, it's about not being attracted to someone sexually (as in not finding a person sexually attractive). But sex can still be interesting and/or enjoyable to someone for various reasons besides being attracted to someone.

  • No, I corrected my post with more detail, hope you can see the edit.

    Anyway, no people can be interested in sex for other reasons like enjoying the physical sensations etc, just because someone isn't sexually attracted to someone doesn't mean they aren't interested in the act itself.

  • I have looked through the app I use (mlem) and the web interface but I can't figure out how to give a link post an image, as when I try to put something into the image section it replaces the link.

    So how is it done exactly? Is this some setting, special script or app feature I don't know about? Or have I missed something?

    A really good video that gets into the whole ridiculousness of autistic/'aspie' supremacy and having a us vs them mentality around NTs vs NDs, and how doing so causes harm especially because then the assumption is that all NTs and all NDs are the same, which is factually incorrect.

    Recent some kind creatures have treated me exactly like what I am, offering me things and treating me as very small, and the amount of euphoria it gave me was incredible.

    So have any of y'all had species euphoria from being treated like what you are? If so would you like to share the details of what works for y'all?

    I am very excited about this, although a bit saddened to see they're still doing it as an 'episodic' release game. Maybe that's better for funding or something however, I thought game developers had moved past that?

    Is full instance blocking as a user unavaliable because it's not in the version this instance runs or has it been disabled?

    If it's the latter could it be enabled? As there are some instances I'd like to block as a user that don't necessarily need to be to blocked from an instance perspective (though maybe they should be).

    If it's the former, any idea how long before y'all will update to a version with it in? Thanks!

    Hi I was wondering what folk's here liked most in terms of neopronouns for first, second and third person.

    If you don't know what that means:

    • First are things like I/me

    • Second are things like you and y'all

    • Third are things like they, she and he

    Do any of y'all tire of the way games handle relationships? There's pratically no ethically non-monogamy built into most games and even if there is there's either no recognition of your relationships or there's jealousy from the other characters you are involved with.

    Mods help a little but there's usually no recognition or discussions. There are two games that have frustrated me in recent memory.

    One is BG3 when I tried to date both Lae'zel and Shadowheart and Shadowheart angrily told me she wasn't "going to be my sidepiece" when that was far from how I saw her or what I actually wanted.

    The other that frustrated me is Coral Island since yes you can date more than one person but the game really pushes marriage for reward, if only for an achievement probably and I find that really disheartening that these games are always built this way, can we please have some thought for those of us that don't do things the ways developers biases expect and recognition of how meaningful these relationships can still be, even if we were dating the entire village?!

    Not allowing multiple partners (or even if they do, not multiple spouses if the game insists on only allowing certain content or rewards for getting married) shows such a monogamous and scarcity mindset from the developers that I find shocking and kind of disgusting, though sadly unsurprising. Let me sit down with the characters and let me explain what I'd like, not just assume I'm using you because I don't actually like you... please!

    I really wish there was more not only ethical nonmonogamy in games but more realistic actual R.A. where we could discuss what we all what. Some might see this as a silly pipe dream or fulfilling a fantasy, but really I think to me at least it's because representation matters and I want to see myself reflected in these games, not just have to accept monogamy or if the game insists on marriage then only one marriage and then 0 other marraiges, partners or important people to me.

    What do y'all think?

    A much needed reminder that Machine Learning and Large Language Models (so called 'AI') is plagiarism, don't necessarily agree it's theft in the strict legal definition (but definitely in the colloquial meaning), but it's definitely immoral and unethical and the used by those that want to contribute nothing themselves.

    I found this thoroughly interesting as it goes into how no matter how women dress it is never our/their fault for having bad things happen to them/being objectified etc which I wholeheartedly agree with.
